Spring has arrived


As Spring has approached, the days have gotten longer and warmer. Lately though it seems every weekend has been filled with rain and storms. Yes, I realize that is the ultimate “definition” of spring time. But it still aggravates when we are planning some outdoor activities. So today’s blog will be about brighter days ahead.
When I see natures’ beauty I feel compelled to capture it for posterity. When visiting the Botanical Gardens recently we were able to capture some truly beautiful nature shots. 
        I believe that the real sign that it is truly springtime is by observing the animals that live so closely to the subtle changes that occur way earlier than we humans can feel or see.
Seeing the sheer exuberance that our horses flaunt as they thunder through the fields as the new grass sprouts up from winter worn fields makes me smile. 
Watching the mothers tend their babies as they explore their new surroundings is priceless and evokes memories of my own “babies” first steps. 




 



























The new baby chicks that are so cuddly and soft can still make me act like a kid.







 
Even the wildlife that have emerged have their sights set on new beginnings. 


 




 We are so blessed to experience Mother Nature’s bounty. 

So as we wait for the stable days ahead, let us relish this time of the renewal of spirit. 

        Soon we will be enjoying the lazy, hazy days of summer.
